| Abstract | This study aimed to improve geography teaching and learning management in Lao secondary schools by promoting the integration of teaching media, encouraging student-centered approaches, and identifying strategies for instructional improvement. A classroom action research design was implemented with geography students. Data collection involved classroom assessments and student feedback surveys. Descriptive statistics (means and percentages) were used to evaluate teaching activities, preparation and use of media, types of media employed, instructional techniques, student satisfaction, and assessment practices—the integration of teaching media in geography lessons produced positive outcomes. Student learning performance was rated “very good” according to the evaluation criteria. Student feedback indicated consistently high satisfaction across seven dimensions. Assessment and evaluation were rated highest, followed by organization of learning activities. The lowest-rated aspect was the use of electronic media, though it was still considered satisfactory. The findings demonstrate that media use substantially enhances student engagement, satisfaction, and performance in geography education. The study highlights the pedagogical value of integrating diverse teaching media. It emphasizes the need to expand the use of electronic resources to strengthen digital learning capacity in resource-limited contexts. |
